The Ohio democrats have put in nomination for Governor the patriot soldier Rosecrans, than whom they could not have made a more fortunate choice. His characteristics as a public man require neither recital nor adulation. With a vigorous popular backing he can unquestionably complete the democratic programme in Ohio by harmonizing the political character of the Legislature and the gubernatorial office. With a statesman like soldier like Rosecrans for the democratic candidate in Ohio, and another like Hancock in Pennsylvania, and Hoffman in the Executive chair in New York, the sentiment of the country is likely to find plainer and more effective expression than it has of late, and the great Middle States will be able to erect something like a fixed barrier against the further invasion of the tide of radicalism. The Ohio democrats are awake to the issues of the day, and determined to force an earnest contest for better practices in government a wise public policy and sound Constitutional principles. Their entire ticket commends itself to the confidence and support of the people of the State.-Boston Statesman.
